Flood and water logging land situations are the natural features of Eastern
India. These situations start from the foot hills of the Himalayas in Nepal and
extended up to Bangla Desh covering the entire stretch of eastern India. The
flood-prone basins of eastern India have their own traditional farming systems.
Traditional technologies give low but stable yield. Improved technologies

deals with the approaches and experiences gained during implementing the FSR
programme
